A deer in the Florida Keys is breathing more easily after a deputy removed a Doritos bag from its head.

The Monroe County sheriff's deputy discovered the Key deer while on patrol late Saturday evening. Its entire head was stuck in the chips bag.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin says the deer allowed the deputy to remove the bag without a struggle.

Key deer are the smallest of the Virginia white-tailed deer subspecies and are endangered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services says the deer have been threatened by development, habitat loss and hurricanes.

1. Without a Taser?

Well there is a cop with no future on the force. At a minimum he should have zapped it with a Taser, or at least clubbed it senseless with his "baton".

Apparently cops are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

14. I live in the Keys

Key deer are about the size of large dogs. They pretty much inhabit only one of the islands, Big Pine Key, and all the residents are quite familiar with them all, especially since they are hopeless moochers. No surprise to find one wearing a chip bag... more surprised that he didn't ask the cop for salsa and cheese dip.
